Opener: "Hexagram" is my favorite opener, to me it ecompasses everything the self titled album offers.
Closer: "This Place is Death" I think the melancholy tone is a perfect ending.
Both of mine have to be from White pony Pink maggit and feiticeira just contrast each other so well really shows how dynamic the album is.Plus White Pony was like nothing id heard before so they make a big impression.
hexagram and pink maggit, there really aren't any other options
I agree with Pink Maggit, for sure... Regarding the opener, it's hard : Hexagram is great, but Bored is pretty good too... The opening riff sounds great as an album start !

Yea Bored also is great the way it builds up is perfect for an opener.
After thinking about it, every album excels at intro/outro songs.
Worst opener ever is Back To School on the White Pony re-issue.
Hexagram for sure as an opener. Almost shit my pants the first time I heard it.
Rivière is an awesome close to SNW although I personally think that album would have been better with Kim Dracula directly after rivière. That's how I listen to it on Spotify and I think it sound much better. (give it a try)

definitely same 2 tracks..
ps - i could have almost gone MOS + MX tho (that's my most nostalgic album i guess)
feiticeira & moana
Feiticeria + Damone
Hexagram, best opening.
This Place Is Death, best closing.

This Place Is Death, best closing.
this just blows my fucking mind
you're putting this over fucking fist
over fucking mx/damone
over fucking pink maggit. PINK FUCKING MAGGIT
over fucking moana
OVER FUCKING RIVIERE
what in the name of shit
starts with hexagram ends with rivière
Best opener: Hexagram
Best closer: Pink Maggit
i've read that this place is death was supposed to be the opener of the album.and i guess diamond eyes was supposed to be the closer since the ending sound of 967-evil, is the same sound as the first seconds of the track diamond eyes. old news maybe
Opener: Hexagram / Feiticeira = Directly in the mood of the album.
Closer: MX
Opener: Feiticeira
Closer: Rivière and This Place Is Death. Although I prefer Rivière, I can't leave TPID unmentioned. I love this song!
Edit: Ah, and Pink Maggit of course! This is just too hard...
Opener - Hexagram
Closer - Riviere / Pink Maggit
Opener - My Own Summer
Closer - Moana
That last chord ringing out on Moana followed by the pick scraping is perfect.

Opener - My Own Summer
I was surprised nobody mentioned it. I sometimes don't listen to it too much (over-heard) and every now and then the song blows me away again. The "Change" syndrome.

Closer - Moana

Hell yes. The intro of the song + this last part are delicious.
Anyway, for me it would be Feiticeira and Pink Maggit. White Pony, what else.
Intro: Hole in The Earth- Always makes me really exicted, really starts the album fresh.
Closer: MX/Damone- Whats not to love about MX? Damone- Chino and Chi's screams are fucking amazing. Especially Chino's last scream.
This is more difficult than I thought it would be but I'll take Feiticeira and Riviere.
OPENING-Bored or Hexagram
CLOSER- Pink maggit or TBR and DAMONE BITCHES.
opener- Bored. The ending of this song makes Big Roy want to crack some skulls.
closer- Damone. I don't think this is the best fitting closer, but it's The Main Roy's favorite song out of the closers if you know what mean.
HEXAGRAM and DIMONE end of discussion.
Opener: Hole in the Earth
Closer: Riviere
I wish Anniversary was the closer of S/T, would be much much better than Moana.
feiticeira and pink maggit
My own Summer - The best Song off the best Album from the bestest band eva. Seriously though, for some reason this song NEVER gets old for me. In fact I play it every single day when starting my workout at the gym....for the last 10 years or so.
Closer - MX or Damone or WHTY. Still heavily contemplating the ramifications of this decision.
The End.
My Own Summer or Feiticeira... tough choice
Riviere
do bonus tracks count as closers?

"enter the white pony" or feiticera is the best opener.
and for the closer is, pink maggit.
but i prefer rosemary as the best closer of an album.better than 'what happened to you'
Best opener: My Own Summer
Best closer: Pink Maggit (if Damone doesn't count because it's a hidden track)
Opener: Feiticeira
Closer: Riviere
I tend to skip most openers but never Feiticeira.
Quote from: Vesanic on Dec 01, 2012, 03:47 AM...
Same although Riviere is very close second i just wish it was longer lol
Opener - Hexagram (actually the song that really got me into Deftones)
Closer - Pink Maggit
opener HITE tied with my own summer ..i cant decide depends on my mood, both amazings songs
closer damone or WHTY
Feiticeria + Riviere
Too difficult.. White Pony probably wins in both categories though.
feit
pink/riviere
The Boy's Republic is the closing song on the version of White Pony I have. To me it's such a strange Deftone's song, The Last Roy likes it, but just thinks it's an odd sounding song for them. Anyone else feel that way?
Yeah it is pretty odd the acoustic version has a weird camp fire sound
opener: Hexagram
closer: Fist
Best Opener: Hexagram, by far
Runner Up: My Own Summer
Worst: Feiticeira
Best Closer: Riviere
Runner Up: Fireal/Fist
Worst: This Place Is Death

One of my favorite Deftones songs.
opener - my own summer
closer - pink maggot
Opener: Back To School
Closer: Pink Maggit
Yes I know Feiticiera was the original opener for WP but I think Back To School works really well as the opener.
I remember when I listened to WP for the first time I had no idea that Back To School was adapted from Pink Maggit and when the chorus of Pink Maggit kicked in it was a really epic moment which completed the circle. It was one of those moments that send chills down your spine!
I think that My Own Summer, Hexagram and Diamond Eyes were also great openers while Hole in the Earth and Swerve City are maybe a bit weaker.
As far as closers go, Riviere is another great one as is Damone and while I think that Mona is a good song, it's not as epic as some of their other closers.
WHTY is by far the worst ever closer on a Deftones album and by quite a margin. IMO although it's not a bad song, it makes for a poor closer and shouldn't have been put on the album in the first place as it sounds completely out of place - a rare lapse of judgement from the Tones.
They should have kept it for a b-side.

its one of my faves
Opener: Hexagram
Closer: Riviere
I was wondering, would have Entombed been a better closer for KNY? If you've got a computer switch the two around, it actually works very well. And the end of Entombed is one of the best moments on the album, would be a perfect song to close with. I'm big on awesome closing bits, IE Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt.
Opener:Feiticeira
Closer:Pink Maggit
Riviere is also one of my favorite closers but closing with Pink Maggit is epic.
This place is death is their worst closer.
